Binary package hint: python-eventlet
I'd like to ask permission to update eventlet to 0.9.12 (from 0.9.10).
Motivation: Newer version of Nova need this version of Eventlet.
Here's the NEWS diff:
#############################################################
0.9.12
+======
+* Eventlet no longer uses the Twisted hub if Twisted is imported -- you must call eventlet.hubs.use_hub('twistedr') if you want to use it. This prevents strange race conditions for those who want to use both Twisted and Eventlet separately.
+* Removed circular import in twistedr.py
+* Added websocket multi-user chat example
+* Not using exec() in green modules anymore.
+* eventlet.green.socket now contains all attributes of the stdlib socket module, even those that were left out by bugs.
+* Eventlet.wsgi doesn't call print anymore, instead uses the logfiles for everything (it used to print exceptions in one place).
+* Eventlet.wsgi properly closes the connection when an error is raised
+* Better documentation on eventlet.event.Event.send_exception
+* Adding websocket.html to tarball so that you can run the examples without checking out the source
#############################################################
No, there is no mention of 0.9.11 (I'm not sure there even was such a release).
As for regression potential, the only package using eventlet is currently OpenStack's Swift (and soon Nova), so I would say this is a pretty safe upgrade.
Have you tested it with swift ?
